Ferguson Says Newcastle Need More Patience

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has again said Newcastle United are a difficult club to manage, after Manchester United walloped the Magpies 6-0 yesterday afternoon.

Alex Ferguson – Newcastle need patience – Red Devils annihilated us 6-0 yesterday 🙁All the goals came in a scintillating display of attacking football in the second half, that was all too much for the Magpies.

Ferguson said of Newcastle United after the game:

“They are the most difficult club to manage in the game, gobbling up managers and spitting them out again with hardly a pause.â€

â€œTheir list of sacked bosses reads like a who’s who of football. Surely at least one of that band of legends would have been successful if the directors, supporters and media had shown a little more patience.â€

“Newcastle have to satisfy not only a board of directors and fanatical support, but also some very demanding and jumpy journalism that raises the bar even higher than normal.”

We think Sir Alex is fairly accurate here after his team annihilated the Magpies in a magnificent display of attacking football in the last 45 minutes yesterday that was impossible for the Newcastle side to contain. Two of the goals were simply world class from Ronaldo and Ferdinand, and it could have been a lot worse but for the brilliance once again of Shay Given. We also had 3 separate goal line clearances from Taylor, Enrique and Viduka in the second half.

Ronaldo is still infuriating with his fake dives, when somebody ever get near him, but thereâ€™s not doubt heâ€™s a wonderful and world class footballer who is so exciting to watch. The way he brought down that high ball and stroked it past Given in one simple movement was just a joy to watch. That brought back vivid memories of how I used to play way back, but surprisingly none of my family seems to remember that. 😀

Now we need players like him at Newcastle, thatâ€™s what some of us dreamed about last night. Let us know what you think – constructive comments are always appreciated.

It’s ok for these top managers to come out and suggest how our club should be being ran – but they can because they are successful. But i’d wish they would keep their noses out because one day i hope we get the last laugh………………

It is ok for alex to come out and say that we need patience and that if we gave our managers more time then we would be succesful but alax had has over 20 years in charge of man ure of course he is going to be sucessful

i think that if newcastle as a club are going to be serious and if we want to play good football then ashley needs to go out and buy a world class manager and give him 20 years like man ure did with alex furgie. And then we will be unstoppable

If we get any of these 4 managers (below) then that can happen we can before a fortrous again and teams like man ure, arsenal, chelski and liverpool will be scared to come and play us at st james’.

with all due respect to ferguson the last thing he and the managers of other top teams in England want is the likes of mourinho, lippi and hitzfeld joining the party. He naturally wants mediocre managers at as many clubs as possible to minimise the risk of the top 4 becoming the top 6 or 7

Fergies basic comments are correct, unfortunately. We show no patience and I’m probably just as guilty as everyone else..

I want our team to be up there again, playing in Europe on a regular basis, even winning a cup now and again.

To achieve that, we need a manager who knows how its done. Someone the Owner (who’s not a football man) can have complete faith in to do the job to achieve what the owner wants.

Please, stop messing about with the Keegans and Shearers; they are not the answer to our current problems. Sure, bring Shearer on board as a Number 2 in a few years, to learn; it cant do him or us any harm if he is taught by a Master, can it!!!

other than wenger and fergie, no one has really stuck with their manager for as long and got that much success, mourinho had lots but was only there 3 years i think, liverpool change their manager often too (not quite to the extent we have of course) wasn’t steve bruce at birmingham for years? he didn’t have much success except for relegation and qualifying for the premiership again. steve coppell may have got reading to the premiership but they aren’t going to win anything, even if they stay with him for years i imagine, david moyes is the same.

If Shepherd had appointed the right man in the first place he wouldn’t have needed to sack them. What honest man can say Souness, Roeder, Gullit, or Sam would bring success to Newcastle. Man Utd wouldn’t have hired any of them.

For those yesterday that said we need a man in quick, forget it. Take your time Ashley. Get the right man in. Don’t rush it because we have Stoke and Bolton coming up. This is the most important decision you will ever make at Newcastle.

Its not the toon fans fault we changed our manager that often Sir Alex me old red nose plonker. It was our quality chairman who knew nowt about football, pretended to bleed black and white and left with his pockets bulging. When did he dip into his pockets to help out. No he left us with 100Million debt which MA had to pay off to save this club. Â£250 million is a lot of an investment in a business for the return he has got so far. He will get someone in and we have to believe in him the way we did in Sir John. I know Fat Fred talked the talk but I think this guy knows what he is doing. I think Redknapp was being set up as a short term replacement due to his age to get the team playing properly while they had time to find the right man for the long term. I think they now have to go to plan B and get that person now even if they have to buy them out of whichever club they are at. He will know what the fans want, its bad buisness for him to go against that as the club needs the fans, so lets be patient and let him and CM get their man in. If they can’t get their number 1 target I think they will go for a short term fix till they can get their man. They could do a lot worse than ask Sir Bob for advice if they haven’t already.

i wouldnt mind if we stick with pearson untill the end of the season and gett a world class manager then but idealy we would like to get a manager before then to suss out the players (as graeme said earlier in a drifferent article.) and so he knows the ability of the players and so he knows who he wants to ring in/out.

i i hope for is that we get a manager that can bring us sucess and we get him idealy before the end of the season latest early of the transfer window.

100% agree with Fergie. He’s been at Man U for that long and has been so successful. He knows what he’s doing and he knows what he’s on about. Fergie has been a brilliant manager for Man U and continues to be. That’s why Man U have been a dominant force, title challengers for, well forever. As has Wenger. He’s right though, we go through managers faster then any club. Surely if one of the previous managers had been given any bit of time we would have one something. But they weren’t but that comes down to the jumpy board, the pressurizing media listening to the the demanding, know it all, boo boys. The sooner everyone here realizes that immediate success isn’t going to come and that it actually takes time to get this club off the ground then maybe we might start winning something, but for now, it’s want, want, want, complain, complain, complain, boo, boo, boo. The sooner we all learn the sooner everyone stops complaining and we can actually try and win something. For once. Whoever our next manager becomes we need the board to actually stand by him and say, he’s our man no matter what anyone else says or does and we back him, no matter what. Then maybe we can start taking ourselves seriously and maybe then the rest of the footballing world can. Cause instead, right now, we’re the laughing stock of the premiership.

Oh and I like Pearson, having him till the end of the season doesn’t bother me at all. He’s very honest, not afraid to give it a go.

this fat pr!ck needs to keep his mouth shut for once. he came out a week or two ago and mouthed off about newcastle. and after demolishing us 6-0, what do you know, he’s outt again mouthing off. its all well and good to give your two pence when you’re not even involved in the situation.

Sam should have been sacked when Ashley took over, he had 7 months too long in my book. All well and good to give time but only if it’s the right manager. Sam belongs in the Souness, Bryan Robson school of management, giving time to managers of this caliber spells disaster! Fergie is just worried we may be another Chelsea in the making with Ashleys millions

When will this red nosed sod poke his nose out of our business? He is seriously p******* me off. Enough, we have been subjected to days and days of his b*****comments to anyone who cares to shove a microphone under his big fat nose.

I do not care what he has to say quite frankly, because it will not be with the good intentions towards our club from that odious man.

fergie likes to talk about us ehh? didicated there entire matchday program to talk about newcastle . his mates just walked off with a cheque for 4 million , what more does he want . eve , you bore me .

health update

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in February 2017 and completed four months of chemotherapy in late July and will continue to have hormone treatment.

The cancer spread in the bones, but after having a number of CATscans last Friday the cancer has been stabilized and as of April 24th, 2018 it has not spread further.

There is no cure for Stage 4 cancer so I will continue to have CATscans and bone scans about every four months to check on the cancer.

It is as it is - I will do my best under the circumstances - it's another challenge.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
